  • Sony ericsson is the best for gaming!!

  • bought one recently. Love it though i need to request for the makers to have a bigger RAM for the applications to work even smoothly. One whole day worth of battery life with wi-fi on and an hour of playing games. The package for me is great specially that i love to play games with psp

  • Went into my vodaphone store at christmas to buy this phone for 125euro but they were out of stock,so i went in a month later like the assistant said and the phone had gone up over 100euro's , the assistnant said " shure that's the way it goes ". im not one bit happy about this atall atall.

  • xperia play ratings Android platform experience: 9/10 Camera: 7/10(comparing with other xperia devices) Video:7/10 User Interface: 8/10 Design: 9.5/10 Music:9/10 and most importantly gaming:9/10 really good games released for this device and more like fifa 12 about to come out.so excellent gaming experience.

  • it's a great plataform to play nintendo games (N64 and earlier)

  • these are $99 at the pawnshop.

  • If you're a gamer buy a psp vita rather than the playstation certified phone, its a phone, not a hand held games console

  • no you would not be able to play all the games, only some games, which you can download from android market....

  • As standard, no, it wont play PSP or PS2 games, it does however, as standard have a few games ported from the PSX such as crash bandicoot and medieval. Through ways of android emulators (yes alot of them have been adapted to work with the control pad) you can play almost any PSX, Snes Nes n64, games, and any other emu you can find. but as of today, there arnt any ps2 emus, or psp as the phone itself isnt powerful enough for them.

  • Just wanna ask guys. Am I able to play PSP and PS2 games in this smartphone? Planning to buy this one. Answers will be so appreciated. :)

  • My advise is dun buy this piece of shit.the ps game u play on this shit is all old version.it can't play quality psp game.and the controller playing game sometime get fustrated.battery life is soso only.managed to last two- three hour of gameplay.dun be stupid.why buy a phone that only play outdated game.buy psp if u really wanna play game.sony ericsson suck!!

  • im buying the Orange version (rare) within this week here in the philippines and its veryu goodlooking!

  • is this phone capable of video calls?

  • i already have this unit and its good.16gb is not enough to the games if your a gamer.hopefully se philippines will release this kind of phone.but i think the cost will be more expensive

  • I just want to know,, about the game experience... compare to iphone which is best in texture and quality??

  • yeah its already available here, ive seen it in stores for 18k php. capacity for the games, that depends on the memcard that you have, same goes for psp wherein it depends on your memcard.

  • i hope that this handset is available here on Philippines.. i'm really excited to buy this one.. and may i ask if.. how many games can be downloaded on this handset? and is it strong enough? just in case the user is really a gamer and there is a tendency that handset will broke. so i'm hoping that it doesn't have a ribbon cause ribbon usually cause trouble. i have n95 before and it used to be repaired repeatedly for almost 5x..

  • hope, it will available on Indonesia too! :D

  • why only black and white

  • hope, it will available on Indonesia :D

  • truly said dear i have xperia x 10 got 2 major updates android 2.1 and ginger bread every 3 months since i purchased my cell i got a fresh new looks and apps also far better than ovi.

  • Where to buy it in chennai?

  • Nokia makes god phones but the operating system is very very old. So even if u had a decent procesor on a nokia he will move like an old man (phone).

  • HI

  • not to buy this phone waste of time and money ............

  • go for it, this phone is worth buying

  • i like to buy this phone i would like to have suggestion from u guys

  • there is already GSM version and released in April in Europe, asia, newzealand and elsewhere

  • its a verry good handset

  • how come they didn't bring out a gsm version of this model? Kinda ridiculous considering it's the highest rated phone, Sony would do good with a gsm version because the main reason people are going hard on Android is due to applications, half of which are games...

  • I would love to have a phone like this but I don't like Sony Ericsson. Its a nice phone though.

  • hey guys i need someones opinion! i have an iphone4 and at the moment im really interested with this new sony, should i sell my iphone and get this one? or should i stay with my iphone? thanks

  • this phone is coming to US market in verizon shops on May 27th, CDMA version, hold your breadth and get this awesome phone.

  • nice phone battery sucks

  • where is it available? I live in the states so I guess it will be waiting.

  • I think that this Product is simple example of Sony Ericsson Company that is so fantastic

  • i have got this ....l it's AMAZING guys :)

  • IT NOT BETTER THEN SONY ERICSSON XRERIA PLAY.....bt every thing is ok...i think it's gameing set...good look..Andriod application ...may i know who much cust ...... look Sexual........

  • this sony review in our country ,but it is not nice

  • I have it .so use it is so horrible.

  • samsungs have always been fine, sonys on the othr hand have been going faulty since the x10 all since then have all had issues, i work for a mobile retail and i always recommend samsungs over sonys and always warn people that the sony will more than likely go fautly

  • this is releasing on 05/05/2011 in verizon

  • yes 100% anytime don't go for Samsung they have lot of issues

  • no this can be only used on Verizon network in USA, buy GSM+UMTS version to use in India on GSM+UMTS network though and with a SIM card.

  • can this phone be used in reliance and tata indicom providers..........

  • Would this be a better 12 month choice than theSamsung Galaxy like

  • why don't you just make the PSP FULL HD 12mp Phone? Now that sounds like an idea... Same size slim line Pearl Black/Silver/White and maybe a bright pearl pink for the lady's. This phone is not that bad just the design of it is a bit out. Guys we talking Sony here and to me its so far the best. Think about it...

  • If you bother to read my post it said outside of the Asian Market. Either way Asia has already switched to UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA/HSPA/HSPA+ and on the way to LTE. So yes, CDMA standard (as owned by Qualcomm is long dead). Sure UMTS/HSPA uses some CDMA technology but it is wholly GSM and covered by the GSM standards association, and we get a SIM card. When I mean CDMA I mean ye ole Kyocera on Verizon or Telus with no SIM card, less battery, crippled bluetooth, charging for calls the second you press the call button (even for connecting to the network before you get a ring), sub standard phones, and royalties galore to the US company Qualcomm. GSM or 3GSM (UMTS) might use that said air-interface but it is its own standard, and it is free and open.

  • check on the sony style website for the best headsets for the phone prices will differ for this product so check it out

  • can i know hw much tiz handset cost pls.....??

  • everything is great except the ram, which is only 400mb. why now 1gb ram? sony please add more ram to it.

  • this phone is verygood

  • This is awesome!!!

  • sony have done it again

  • Its superb, can i say about looking, awsome features, no can be compare, and will come it compitition of it,

  • Its superb, can i say about looking, awsome features, no can be compare, and will come it compitition of it,

  • It has R1 and L1 buttons.

  • this phone not a psp a this is a phone but have a keys for playing the games, the psp is beter than it.

  • ya'll just killed the PSP

  • this is not a complete phone. i want a phone with refrigerator and gas stove. anybody knows where to buy one???

  • this is what I've waiting for !! but i wonder do the gaming company produce many game for this phone?

  • Its a cool phone and should definitely be a hit for the younger generation, but why oh why is it CDMA? are they trying to do a test first before making the GSM version? i hope they introduce a GSM of this cos thats just what a busy man like myself needs to relax sometimes... a good soccer and/or adventure game.

  • They are making phones - Xperia arc, Xperia neo, Xperia pro... Those are good PHONES

  • dont be a hater....

  • This phone has good specifications...But its not a mobile phone!!!Its a PSP that makes calls!!!!Sony Ericsson must think about producing a new MOBILE phone!!!With good specifications but mobile phone...

  • Complete japan uses cdma phones & japan's phone market is owned by Sony Ericsson. So, they r much more experienced in making cdma phones than any other company. Got it...?

  • just try it. it will be the best cdma ever.

  • this is a Warning for other brands.

  • Sony Ericsson making a CDMA phone? WTF? They have never done this (outside of the Asian market). CDMA is long dead, even Verizon is switching to GSM with LTE (4GSM, GSMA platform). Please don't pick this up, SE has no experience in making CDMA phones, nor should one ever use a CDMA handset. Where is the SIM card? C'mon, RIP CDMA.

  • Guys... now it's almost official that we will see a LTE flagship phone from SE pretty soon. The recently announced phones by SE like Arc, neo, pro & play aren't flagship devices from any side, so this forthcoming new LTE device could easily be a dual core powerhouse. Morover SE is also considering Android tablets. Link - ­

  • this phone supposed to be just a phone ,,,not a game console sony try to impress the world with the this gadget ,,,,,, its crazy......

  • Yoh this phone going to be the best phone on the market for games.Sony ericsson use are the best and so clever o.m.w!!!use are going to get lot of children thats going to buy this phone hahaha
